Dr. Hong Chen
Attended: University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine, D.M.D.; University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, School of Dentistry, Endodontics

Started in Practice: 2006
Specialty: Endodontics
Philosophy: Toothache pain is the main reason for most people seeking treatment in the dental clinic. The majority of toothache pain requires endodontic treatment, such as root canal therapy. As an endodontist, my job is to relieve pain, prevent or treat apical periodontitis(the most common infection in the oral cavity). We believe in saving natural teeth. People should enjoy their own healthy teeth for their entire life. Nothing is better than your own teeth.
Personal Information: Dentistry is a very stressful career, therefore anything that helps me to relax after work, walking, running, listening to the music, reading a book... I will go for it. Yoga is my favorite. I like to watch college basket ball games, too. I did my endodontics training at UNC and so I am a huge "TAR HEEL" fan (no offense to Indiana fans).
